This and the previous species have an unusual fruit ornamentation similar to that seen in Stenocoelium. These two species are part of a group of dwarf, high-altitude Himalayan rosette-forming umbellifers that are not easy to identify; see also Cortia, Cortiella, Pleurospermumhedinii, etc.

Two of us (Pimenov & Kljuykov, FOC 14: 129. 2005) treat this as Seseli depressum.
